“Excellent service from start to finish. The survey was thorough and professional, with honest, evidence-based advice rather than trying to sell unnecessary work. I came away with complete peace of mind.”

“Excellent service throughout. Ashton came out to look at an issue raised on a part-exchange survey and, rather than recommend expensive remediation, told me honestly there was nothing wrong with the wall. Great to have an honest discussion.”

Areas we cover near Poole
Our specialists regularly work throughout Poole and the surrounding neighbourhoods.
Rising damp in Poole properties
Poole’s harbourside setting and its mix of historic and inter-war housing make rising damp a regular problem. Here is what we typically find.
Harbourside ground moisture
Homes in Hamworthy, the Old Town and around Holes Bay sit on low-lying, wet ground that tests older damp proof courses.
Inter-war bungalows
Bungalows in Upton, Oakdale and Broadstone often have bridged DPCs where render or patios have been taken down to ground level.
Period villas
Larger Victorian and Edwardian villas in Parkstone and Branksome may have no effective DPC at all, with thick solid walls that hold moisture.
How we treat rising damp in Poole
1. Survey & diagnosis
Calibrated moisture readings, salt analysis and a check of ground levels confirm genuine rising damp — and rule out condensation or penetrating damp.
2. New damp proof course
A chemical DPC is injected into the mortar course, or where the wall needs it, our Proofterior Dry System (PDS) membrane is installed.
3. Salt-resistant replastering
Salt-contaminated plaster is removed and replaced with a specialist renovating plaster, leaving a smooth, dry wall ready to decorate.
